Hooray for Yelp Eliteing in my neck of the woods!  Not only do I get to push my chair back from my standard-issue, ergonomic Financial District desk, stretch mightily, and walk the 2 minutes around the corner for free booze, but I also get to know…More »

B-list celebrity ahoy!

Highlight of my night, besides the wee cupcakes, wee cups of booze, and reawakening my love for charcoal figure drawing?  Walking up to Jason Santos, receiving my little yogurt cake, and asking him point blank if Hell's Kitchen…More »

Is it me, or has there been a serious glut in the amount of food at Yelp events lately?  Like, I don't need to eat dinner beforehand anymore.  Like, people greeting you at the door with martinis and sliders.  Like, yoohoo, foodboy!  and you're…More »

Ooh la la, Petit Robert!  A swanky, sassy locale for a swanky, sassy bunch.  The nibbles were by and large a delight, and included the only breaded shrimp I've ever had where the shrimp maintained its succulence beneath a non-oily coating, and the…More »

Yelp's tried and true provision of a B-list celebrity to add just that extra thrill to the evening has once again failed to disappoint: One Mr. John Stevens of American Idol Fame (season 4?  Maybe?  The Fantasia season, a.k.a. the only one I watched)…More »

Way to show a +1 a stellar time, y'allz.  I have now been officially moved to gain my own elite status, so I can bring Scotty B. as MY +1, and not get dumped halfway into the night for some chick he knocked up 9 months ago.

I had to wake up at 5am the…More »
